I could get behind this.

>>15662061

Scale might be an issue, since the RPG assume you to be playing a minor house. There would also be several questions to answer.

What's the political state of Westeros?

How do we deal with the Iron Throne? Who controls that?

How the fuck do I organize this?

OH MY GOD!

I'm in. I don't care what it takes, but I will play the crap out of this. I didn't even read the books, but this just seems so cool.

>>15662113

The goal would be, I think, to minimize the necessity of reading the books, but I'd love to have people be able to at least roleplay. Because, hey, it is an awesome setting, and I love to see good roleplaying, even if it's just shceming, plotting, and /tg/ being a bunch of awesome tactical grognards.

And I use grognard in the most loving of ways

Another thing to consider would be that each player would start off with a minor house, and the first few turns would be about gaining dominance over your small portion of the seven kingdoms. Become a lord of your region, warden of the west/north/south/east, perhaps?

I think I was in a game kind of like this once on a forum. We all controlled minor houses set around the riverlands, with the nominal objective of becoming the dominant family in the region.

As I recall, I was doing pretty well up until the GM vanished.

God, I want this to occur so badly.

>>15662186

One thought was to just do a single region, but I tihnk the series works better as an "expansive" setting.

>>15662212

hey, if I get enough interest in it, and I can figure out how to freaking organize it, I'll run this shit so fast.

>>15662214
The series might work better that way, but there are dozens of houses in Westeros, perhaps hundreds when you include all the tiny unimportant ones. If you make the game expansive and the players geographically diverse, then logically you have to include the opportunity for interaction with everyone in the setting... which could get very messy, very quickly, since all the NPCs would have their own plots and motivations.

To make this actually work you'd therefore have to limit its scope. Choose one of the seven kingdoms and stick to that region, with each player controlling one house within it and the GM controlling the dominant reigning house and several additional minor houses. People from the other kingdoms can influence the region, of course, but they wouldn't be as dominant a force in the game and would primarily be present as single characters representing their entire house in the region than houses proper.

>>15662255

True, that may work. It'd also be a lot easier to limit the scope.

>>15662033

IF you run it you better give us a AAR of what happens.

And, there's a Game of Thrones rpg?

>>15662280

You think I wouldn't? Hell, I'd do weekly updates for /tg/! And yes, there is an RPG. Check /rs/ for it.

>>15662280
There are actually two Game of Thrones RPGs. Or are there three? But I recall at least one of them being incredibly shitty.

>Play the game of thrones as it was meant to be played.

>Words are wind
>teats
>leal servants, alas

So each player would be in control of a different house? And we'd all be competing against eachother?

>>15662309

That's the idea, good ser.

>>15662320

Huh. I'm downloading the rulebook right now.

>>15662354

Make sure it's the...Green Ronin one, I believe?

>>15662296
how the fuck are you supposed to fit a Raven through an internet connection?

>>15662360
Indeed, that's the one.

For house setup, would you go strictly by the rules or make some modifications to accommodate the type of game? For example, rolling 7d6+kingdom modifiers works well when there's one house and everyone's in it, but it could easily result in highly unbalanced houses when everyone does it. Perhaps implementing some kind of point buy system would be better?

Of course, the GM could just roll all house stats and if a player gets unlucky, they should just suck it up and play the Game of Thrones to win.

Oh snap, OP, massive ASoIaF fan here, I will kill all of my friends and family for a chance to play this. Hit me up bro.

>>15662360

The only one on /rs/ is the Sword and Sorcery one. I'm trying to find the Green Ronin one.

>>15662418
This is false.

http://www.mediafire.com/?hgji825b7y1a2af was on /rs/ and is the link you want.

I was lookin through that pdf the other day. The scale is incredibly small. Like each region is a couple leagues across, and you might only have two or three regions.

No. Fuck you. I had this same idea. I posted it 4 goddamn times. I got 1 fucking response.

WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR MAGIC??!?

also I'd be very interested

>>15662414
Also, if you need any help in organizing the game, I am, in all humility, something of an expert on the setting. Let me know if I can be of any service.

>>15662418

Got it. It's listed under Song of Ice and Fire on /rs/. For anyone else who's looking.

>>15662433
Maybe you just posted at the wrong times?

Or maybe it has something to do with Guybrarian being generally accepted as a cool guy by most people on /tg/.

Apologies if this is too off topic, but how does the system handle magic?

I have a custom setting campaign I want to run invovling corruption/taint, but DnD seems too bombasticly powerful and magic-item oriented for what I'm trying to do.

>>15662547
It doesn't. There is basically no magic. Its a very very low powered setting. One of the nice things about the books is that with a few exceptions(The dragons, Dondarrion, the Others) magic has no real discernable effects on the world. Much of what is attributed to magic is often set in motion by schemes planned well before the magic is set in play.

>>15662402

I'd definitely be modifying it, or changing purchase prices.


>>15662491

Anon, you're all right. Thank you.

>>15662414

I will, down the road, probably. I would need to do some looking over the system and modify it to suit my needs.

>>15662611
I'm sure what you meant was, "I'm now collecting email addresses and will be frantically working on this instead of sleeping for the next day or so, so we should be starting this weekend."

So, the thought is to be that this would be in a single region.

What would, /tg/ like? The expansive north? The cluttered riverlands? Maybe the Reach?

I'd be interested brave Guybrarian. A game of herps and derps? count me in.

>>15662651
Here's +1 for Dorne, but I'd be down for anywhere.

>>15662672

So, that's one vote for Dorne. I'd have to study a map or two for whatever region we do, but I'm liking Dorne, as I just finished AFFC Tuesday.

>>15662651
The North is big, but it's big like Canada is big, IE empty. You might technically have a lot of territory and a fair amount of houses, but you could definitely get more action in balmier climes.

Of course ,you could be anywhere and have minor houses pounding the hell out of each other. It doesn't really matter where if it's big houses going for the Iron Throne, as they will interact with each other regardless of where their actual power base is.

>>15662651
The stormlands or riverlands could be cool. But a game in the North or in Dorne could have a much more isolated feel, potentially letting our kingdom have a self-contained war or two while no one else really cares. It could give us an excuse to worry more about local politics and less about the rest of Westeros- which would be very difficult in one of the central Kingdoms.

I'm up for any region that allows me to play a poor rural Lord. Something heavily forested where nobody will bother.

>>15662716

Apparently my email didn't want to stick.

>>15662697

I will probably be going off of what an anon suggested earlier, of minor houses striving for power, with the GM of this playing the king or Lord of the region at large.

I'm GMing this right now for a group. They are literally playing the Game of Thrones and haven't even read the books. Right now they're taking advantage of an in-house rebellion of a neighboring family to set up a Lord that will probably pledge fealty as a banner house.

I'd totally be up for playing this.

>>15662547
Really really low magic I think the book only has one page to cover the entire magic system. no real spells or anything, but magic is more thematic and metaphorical.

>>15662721

I like the idea of the GM moderating what everyone's doing. So if this is run via email, we send you our actions and plans before a deadline, and then you give us an update at the end of those actions. Keeps everything organized as well as in check.

>>15662736

That's pretty much the idea. As the PCs would all be a lord, there would also be something to measure spies and intelligence gathering, so...your report of what happens may not be the same as your neighbor's.

>>15662751

Yup. Keeps everyone relatively in the dark and means that your well laid plans can easily be fucked up by something you overlooked.

Also, if we need a dice room, there's always the dicelog the P&M guys use. Keeps everything public and stores it all.

Email for this.

>>15662771
Unless the GM is exceptionally biased and untrustworthy, I'm inclined to leave as much dicerolling as possible in his hands and leave the players with a largely flavor-based interface for issuing orders and seeing results.

>>15662804

Makes sense.

Put me down as +1 for the North.

Sent an email out to those who put their email in this thread.

So,

1 vote for the North
1 for Dorne
1 for the stormlands or riverlands.

Gallant /tg/, decide these poor lords' fates!

I had no idea this existed until I read this thread. Now I've used it to convince my family start ROLEPLAYAN with me.

I love you, /tg/. Never change.

This sounds like a great idea. I'm up for it if it gets off the ground. It'd probably be a buttfuck to run.

>>15662880

Also, Dorne.

Dorne.

>>15662890

Buttfuck to run? Maybe. My face-to-face group will probably have to suffer and help me sort this out, if only because I can bribe them with stories.

>>15662880
Vote for the north!
Winter is Coming

>>15662920

I'm just taking down email addresses of people intersted. If you want to get in on this, just drop an email here.

Also, vote update

3 for dorne
2 for the North
1 for Stormlands or Riverlands

I'll keep the polls open simply because I love /tg/ and this is pretty close still

Here are some banners I've made using Paint and the generator provided in the ASoIaFRP book.

Email provided.

>>15662936

I'll throw in for Stormlands.

Count me in.

I do not want to play. I just want to say Dorne is fucking awesome. I hope the Dornebros win the game.

>>15662859

Circle Dust (at) Gmail

No spaces obviously.

>>15662936

I'll cast my vote for the north. Simply because Dorne as a southern area sounds lame. Deserts and shit? Bitch please.

>>15663024

Exactly my reason for saying north. I have no desire to play in the desert or the fucking heat, it's already hot as balls outside in reality, why do we need more hot?

So that's

3 for the north, 3 for dorne, and 2 for the stormlands.

Matters for consideration.

What timeline are we going with here? Given that we're doing a region-specific game, it would be relatively easy to break free of the novels' timelines entirely and go for another period, thereby avoiding pesky things like needing to remotely respect canon reality and characters from the books showing up.

We could even potentially dial things back all the way to before the Targaryens showed up, making our ruler an actual ruler of a Kingdom, rather than beholden to the Iron Throne and thus merely one part of a larger empire.

I think I'll vote for the riverlands, actually. I feel like Dorne would be too unfamiliar, and the North seems a little too familiar. I'm fine anywhere, though.

>>15663082

That's entire possibly. We may just run this shit pre-Targs. As a GM, I have to say I'd be pretty cool with being the stark in Wnterfell or the Prince of Dorne.

And yea, the only real canon things will be locations and the King of the region.

mite b cool

>>15663082
problem with that would be the existence of Magic since People know magic existed back then to create the castles and The Wall so you'd need to alter all the magic rules to fit in stuff like Valyrians and The children of the forest. On the plus side though Military forces would be made of awesome. Since they wouldn't be afraid of stuff like Dire wolf packs and Giants armies (in the North anyway)

Also vote for Dorne

The reason I like the idea of the North being our setting is that it's so massive it gives us tons of room for fucking around on our own. As well as wide enough that there could be varied regions and stuff we each rule over. Plus it reminds me of the Scottish Highlands and that'd just be ballin'.

Other than that though, I'll play anywhere that gives us space and room to breathe.

All right, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep my labtop going much longer. New battery is not so good. I'll stay on as long as I can before I head to Captain America tonight.

>>15663235

Hey, I'm going too.

>>15663235

Also, toss me an email if interested.

Sage for double posting

>>15663187
The rules of the game make everyone's holdings rather tiny. Really, really tiny. Even in the North, you end up with even the greatest lords controlling only a few dozen square miles of lands.

Admittedly, we might decide that's just dumb and change it for our purposes here.

>>15663154
We can probably ad-hoc that if we have to, though. And given where the storyline is now, I think we have a reasonably solid idea of what most of the various magics consisted of. Even in a relatively high-magic era sorcery was never the decisive factor for any lords, as far as I know.

Here, I'm interested enough to see if this goes anywhere.

>>15663249

Magic never really was around in the Seven Kingdoms, by the itme the Andals got there. If we run this pre-Targs, it'll probably be 500 years before the books, so no magic, just a lot of what we're used to, with no dragons or Iron Thrones.

>>15663264
What are we going to do for inter-region interactions (Such as at war with another region or truce) and will we be able to involve them in anything (Tournaments and the like)
And Email since I didn't point out being new earlier.

>>15663249

Agree. Even when magic was present, it doesn't seem to have played a huge role. I think it's something we can generally ignore. In the game I'm GMing I'm requiring that any magic events that my players use require a fate point, and even then I'm requiring some sort of magic knowledge (it could be praying to the gods, if anything.) I've also added the discretionary restriction that it be subtle rather than overt, like using magic to brew a particularly strong poison rather than shooting fireballs and lightning bolts.

>>15663245
Email
+1 for the North

>>15663249

I mostly meant that we'd have room to breathe by not being choked by existing lords and rulers and whatnot. Somewhere that gave us space to be creative and awesome by ourselves without worrying about others.

>>15663300

Any interactions involving the rest of Westeros would probably be mostly trade or things. Tournaments would be called at points, and you can hold them, as per the rules, though I'll set rules for that.

>>15663249
Well, if it's "hurr you have a small village" then it clearly is stupid. Still, just because you technically own 10,000 square miles of territory doesn't mean all of it is actually productive. A happy medium would be best. It would take some extrapolation, naturally. A good starting point would be looking at the map and verified towns, and then filling in the various other settlement based on the relative population density from real world historical situations.

(I know that's kind of complicated, but it would be worth it. Even just a skim to get an idea of the relative population densities in the real world analogs of Westerosi regions would be good. You wouldn't commit to detailing every bit of settlement anyway. Just knowing about how often you would see people traveling, and about how many people lived in an area would be enough.)

>>15663332

If we moved it back in time, that wouldn't really be that large of a problem. I do see your point though, I might change my vote away from the storm/riverlands to the North if we're post-Targs.

>>15663368

What we're probably going to do is say "Well, you can grab any place on the map, apart from Winterfell, then you can assign stats."

>>15663332
Depending upon the era that we set the game in, we might be able to basically ignore the existence of most non-PC houses, except for the region's liege. There can be some NPCs, but for the most part I'm expecting the map to be filled mostly by players regardless of what region we're in.

>>15663390

Which would work just fine I think, you'd just need to make sure people don't get overly grabby right off the bat.

>>15663400
This is why I want to do Dorne (already voted) since they only have a one house properly fleshed out within the novels we don't need to acknowledge all the houses. On the other hand with the North there are a large number of houses already fleshed out as being very old (Karstarks, Umbers, boltons, Manderly's). Although they do give good NPC interactions.

>>15663412

Oh, I have plans... The idea is that you will have a "dice bank" to buy your stats, and each of the big house's castles will give a different bonus. You'll have to bid for your order of selection with your dice bank, at least that's my inital ideas.

>>15663434

Still though, then it comes down to Desert vs. Highlands. In which case desert is pretty much always going to lose. I want snow and lush forests, not sand and tropics dammit.

>>15663452
Dorne isn't all desert. It's got mountains, fertile valleys, forests, and obviously a huge coastline.

Admittedly, not a lot of snow.

All right, we have 4 for Dorne, 4 for the North. I personally am leaning for the North, partially because the idea of fucking over all the PC houses with Winter is appealing... But let's get some more votes.

>>15663446

Well, you've already got my email so I'm not terribly worried about it. Should be excellent. Although now I'm all excited to make my realm. Might get started on some ideas tonight.

I'm thinking a poor country realm set in the depths of an expansive forest. Lots of subsistence and maybe a mine or something, but otherwise fuck all to offer. Alternately something based off the Border Reivers. Anybody else have ideas on what they might run?

I'm thinking one of the closer to the wall areas for me. Lots of timber, mining for iron ore, secluded and for the most part secure. Here's a good question, are we each going to take an already existing house, or are we creating new ones from scratch?

The Reach.

Dat arbor wine.

>>15663512

If it's just between these two, I'll vote for North.

>>15663512
Well, as the Stormlands apparently can't win, I'll throw in for Dorne.

>>15663561

I was thinking somewhere around the western shores of Long Lake personally.

>>15663561

You'll be creating new houses, though you can take the *location* of the old houses. Like, say, you can take Whiteharbor, and you would get a bonus to wealth and economy.

>>15663561

I think we're making them up from scratch. That seems like the most fun route.

>>15663583

Man, we didn't help fix that tie at all.

Doesn't that kind of clash with a huge part of the whole house-building concept? In the standard Song of Ice and Fire setting set in game terms, White Harbor is an awesome port that makes tons of money because House Manderly rolled high on Lands and Wealth, then invested them into a city that could make bank for them- not because the location itself providing a bonus.

I would strongly prefer to build our own houses and holdings properly rather than to Frankenstein together the house building rules with some ad hoc bonuses based upon cannibalized and invented information about existing houses.

That's a possiblity, I'd suppose. If you just want to do it with no regional modifiers or anything, I coul see it being run that way.

>>15663525

I'm debating two ideas. I'll either set up on the coast and focusing on ships and trade, or go for a more pastoral area with good farmland. Not sure where I'd stick the second one.

OP, send emails later with info. I gotta go to bed and can't follow this any further tonight. Thanks!

>>15663672
Maybe we could do some minor modifiers based on area. Like a harbour city will have more income and food but will have a higher low-class population and in turn an increase in crimes.

>>15663711

That, I like. I'll probably have to homebrew some stuff on that.

A friend of mine play The Game of Thrones Boardgame through emails and photoshop.

Really, the only /tg/ things I do are MTG, Dorf Fort, and paint my squad of Firewarriors. I lurk /tg/ all the time, and I'm taking part in Void Quest, but that doesn't really count. I've never roleplayed, but I would really like to do this. I'm just about to finish the fourth book, and I love the setting.
If you guys are willing to play with someone who has absolutely no experience with this kind of thing, count me in. I'll put down an email more solid than Mailinator once things get started.

>>15663711
That kind of effect will naturally emerge from the rules already, for the most part. To use your example, harbor cities have more income because you buy Port upgrades for the holding, which gives a bonus to house Fortune rolls and a bonus to Wealth. We don't need to make up a bunch of new and super-detailed modifiers.

I mean, we could, obviously, but it would basically be throwing a bunch of houserules onto a functioning system. I'm reluctant to do it unless someone who has played extensively with the system believes that the mechanics as they stand have flaws in need of correcting.

I think the North now has pulled ahead with six votes?

>>15663837

Oh, I like the axe over the castle.

I think we are at 8 for the North, and 6 for Dorne unless I miscounted. If we have 14 players this will be fucking huge.

Well i guess we are doing North then so I'm trying to think of a Family Oath so any opinions on a thoroughly Nordic language. Or should I just go Latin or English

>>15663948

The north it is!

I think I'll cut this short, though. I'm going to be heading to Captain America tonight. If this thread is still here, power to you!

Valar morghulis, friends

>>15663959

Go English, most of us probably don't read Latin to very well, and none in the books are done in Latin.

>>15663948
I think we have more since there were votes for other areas that got crushed.

>>15663959
Um, house words?
"We Feast in Winter." Sort of an Epicurean thing.
first thing that came to mind.

Valar Dohaeris.

Don't mind me, I'm just screwing around with the house generator to see what it comes up with.

Rollan for defence, then the stuff that follows it using the charts from the books just to see what it would have randomly come up with.

rolled 60 = 60

>>15663988

Derp, I'm a moron.

>>15662033
Providing Email

rolled 38 = 38

>>15663997

Extraordinary defenses with structures, walls, and terrain features that, when combined, make attacking this land very costly.

Next up would be influence.

Anyone have a higher res picture of the OP?

rolled 64 = 64

>>15664016

A minor house. Examples include House Clegane, House Payne, and House Karstark.

Next be lands.

>>15664008

You're going to have to email Guybrarian as he's gone to the Captain America premiere. His email is posted a lot in this thread.

rolled 35 = 35

>>15664026

Huh. Well that doesn't work for shit.

Most, if not all, of the Seven Kingdoms, such as the holding of King Robert and the royal branch of House Baratheon.

Let's just pretend that was a 22.

A modest stretch of land, or medium size Island, such as House Frey.

Next roll would be Law.

>>15664017

>>15664054
I'm pretty sure that you don't roll 1d70 for the house generator. You roll 7d6 for each category, modified by the region your house is in, and then add 1d6 per PC in the house to a rating of their choice.

My house likes arrows n' bolts.

Need opinions for name and design. Also if anyone could provide a site where I can change font.

rolled 13 = 13

>>15664054

You exert a great deal of control over your lands, and crime is uncommon.

Sounds kind of interesting so far. Minor house, with a fuckhuge powerful nigh impregnable fortress with minor lands and a taste for stamping out lawlessness.

Next roll would be power, and I'm going to alter the dice to a d50 so it can't be stupid and try to give me command of idiocy.

rolled 5, 1, 4, 4, 1, 6, 3, 1 = 25

>>15664064

Yeah, I see that now, otherwise it gets kind of retarded. So 7d6 plus one more d6 for having a player(me) in the house. Alright. So, 8d6 for power then, the rest of the stuff still sounds kinda cool however.

>>15664094
just spitballin here but we probably wont be using the highest ranks at all, unless we change the north to its own kingdom

rolled 4, 1, 2, 6, 4, 3, 1, 5 = 26

>>15664094

A modest force of soldiers, including some
trained troops.

Sounds about right, with a powerful castle and a minor land area it doesn't make sense to hold onto huge numbers of professional soldiers. Just a small and sensible garrison.

Up next... population. Which is where I somehow discover that my lands are barren and nobody lives there because they hate living under the boot heel of a lord who puts justice above all other things.

Don't really feel like reading through the whole thread, but the idea sounds amazing. If you guys are up for it, I would totally want to jump in. Getting the sourcebook off of /rs/ as we speak!

>>between ifeban
Please tell me Captcha's not prophesying a life ban for me.

>>15664130
Make sure you Email the op since he left to see Captain America

rolled 2, 4, 2, 5, 2, 6, 1, 4 = 26

>>15664123

Yeah, probably not. Even if the castle gets downgraded to something not nearly unbreakable, that will be the eventual goal.

>>15664126
Typical population. Most smallfolk live on farmsteads or in hamlets, but you might have a couple of small towns and a community around your primary fortification.

Next would be wealth. After that I'll do the modifiers to the stuff from the north modifier chart. And I'll reroll the defense and influence at the same time just to save space.

It's almost impossible to actually get the highest ranks anyway. The average roll is 24.5, you can add 1d6 to only one of your categories. Even if your regional bonus is +20 for a given state, it's still hard to break 50 anywhere.

Also, the examples given are kind of ridiculous. Fielding armies of the size that some of the houses in the books do requires Power scores much greater than 70, let alone having the numerous banner houses that the various great houses do. So all the benchmarks should be taken with a grain of salt.

>house payne

rolled 4, 3, 4, 6, 6, 5, 6, 1, 3, 5, 2, 2, 5, 6, 4, 1 = 63

>>15664173

Common. Your family has enough to get by.

two rerolls next.

>>15664145

Thanks, bro

>>15664187
Alright, dropping the last die from each of the rolls then and adding in the modifiers for the North.

>>15664190

Ok, defense became a 34. Plus the modifier from being North makes it... a 39. Good defenses with, almost certainly, a castle, along with a few other strong points. Roads and rivers provide easy transportation. Alternatively, natural terrain features, such as mountains or swamps, provide additional fortification.

Influence becomes a uh... 37. Minor house again, which makes sense.

Law becomes The typical level of Law throughout much of Westeros. Crime is common but not out of control.

Power turns into A modest force of soldiers, including some trained troops. Which is where it was before.

Population and wealth both also remain the same.

So... a decent idea behind the house at least. Even if we don't use the generic charts out of the book, it at least gives me an idea other than just the name for the house.

Law and order above all, small numbers of troops, and a powerful castle.

>>15664188

If their patriarch is named Maximus I would second that reaction face.

The tables your using to make those rolls, are they in the Game of Thrones Deluxe Edition sourcebook I got off of /rs/? Can't seem to find them.

>>15664504

Yeah, all the rolls are in the green ronin book. Page 95 and the following pages for most of the charts.

>>15664504

They're in the Song of Ice and Fire RPG book. It's on /rs/.

Thanks guys. Is the Deluxe Edition I downloaded worth keeping, or should I scrap it?

I want to play, don't know shit about the system, never read the novels, I'm on episode 7 of the series.... what do I need to know about the story and rules...Too loon thread didn't read

>>15664569

Email [email protected] with your interests, go to /rs/ and download Song of Ice and Fire sourcebook, Green Ronin version apparently.

>>15664569

You should probably email Guybrarian and download the ruleset from /rs/.

>>15664599

Nice coat of arms, got a house name yet?

For anyone interested in this, the link that you need for the rulebook is

http://www.mediafire.com/?hgji825b7y1a2af

Here's another heraldry generator. Little more complex but more options
http://inkwellideas.com/coat_of_arms/free_coads.shtml

>>15664636

Absolutely not. And since I was the one not sure about what sort of house I'll make, I'm not even sure I'll use that coat of arms.

>>15664727

I can dig that.

Man, I've been playing around with the next few tables and holy shit. This thing is fucking awesome. Using that table and the basic ideas it throws at you gave me a lot of really cool building blocks to make a nice background for the house. It's turned them from just some coat of arms with some fancy words, into a house that makes sense for their words, their position, and how they started.

I am seriously fucking digging this series of charts. I'm seriously tempted to toss my results up in this thread just to show the awesome that came about.

Quick question everybody, how're you guys making the coat of arms? Just doing it on your own, or is there a fancy-shmancy website/program you're using?

>>15665131

or

>>15665131

I searched Coat of Arms Generator, and wandered about till I found one I liked.

There's also a program called Domesday that some fans of the rpg Pendragon made. It's got tools for that game, but also has a good heraldry generator. It's here: http://www.mystyldyne.com/wiki2/index.php?title=Home

OH GOD I AM SO IN IF THERES STILL SPACE

>>15665162

CAPTCHA ATE MY EMAIL

>>15665148

That reminds me, I should tape my email on this, so that if Guy comes back, he sees an email to go with this image.
(And a House to go with the email I sent)

>>15665182

Dude, I like those words. Very similar to the ones I used for my house. I like the idea there there will be a few "We hold the line." houses around for this.

>>15664859

where in the book are these charts you speak of? I must find them.

>>15665230

Charts start at around page 95.

how's this? Can't think of a name just yet...and a friend of mine is interested in playing, isn't fond of huge rules and such, but loves to roleplay. Should I tell them to just stick to the basics and the charts then? Or are we playing a more rules-heavy game?

>>15665456

That'll all be up to the guy running it, we don't really know what he's got planned for it yet. I'd suggest kicking him an e-mail.

>>15665500

alright

Thanks for showing me some links, /tg/, I eventually found one I can use. Though my random rolls on the charts said it should be a tiger, I just chose three Spears to symbolize my house and my two Banner houses they automatically get since I none of the ones I saw included tigers.

Going off to bed bump.

bump for interest

>>15665591
Orange is not a heraldic tinctur.
>>15665456
Nor purple.

I don't think you'll give a fuck about heraldry since song of nipple and rape is fantasy but I just fancy pointing those two obvious ones out.

I'm thinking of starting a SIFRP game on rpol.net, since it's got a pretty good dice roller. Anyone interested in doing it on there?

Is there a Diplomacy variant that has a Westeros map?

I've never played a PnP RPG before but this and the Dresden Files RPG are two I would really like to try.
It's a shame the only guys I know who play PnP irl are a group of people who only play Werewolf: The Apocalypse.

Sign me up

fuck, my post didn't post for some reason.

I wanna play dis shit
email in email field
can't play today
pretty busy this week, but can play late at night.
I'm at GMT, so that probably works out pretty well.

Sign me up, faggots.

Do we start before or after the events of game of thrones or the entire series? I'm still reading.

I reckon either we do it before because there's not much shit going on before or we do it after the events depicted in the TV series, because everyone's seen that.

>>15667194
>>15667075
Just so you two know you have to email the op. Also this is gonna be unrelated to Game of Thrones since we are doing this before the seven kingdoms were united (I think) or right after

>>15667414
>>15667194
>>15667075

Unfortunately, due to a bit of an...underestimation on my part, I'm not accepting any more people. IF people drop, I'll post for more, but for now, I think I've hit the limit.

>>15668222

Actually...shit. I may have gotten myself in over my head. I've got 14 people currently interested. fuuuuuck

>>15666801

yes it is

Purple = "Purpure" = Justice, Sovereignty, Regal

>>15668247

...and you've got all these guys waiting.

Maybe I should suggest getting someone to team up with you and help lighten the load? Or would that just make things more complicated?

>>15669047

Yea, I'm definitely going to need a co-DM, I think.

I'm curious, is there any way to determine how our houses may have interacted in the past? Unless we're all newly formed, it makes sense that the lord of house A may have warded with house B whose mother was from house C and so on. Will that be up to us?

>>15669342

Entirely up to you. Rolling on the histories table will definitely also be opportunities for you guys to write out histories. I plan to create a group of some sort so you all can interact.

you should set up some sort of forum (g+ thing) or some such with an OOC and IC part where people can get familiar with each other and their houses and such (make up common lineage and history).

With 14 players, there is always the option of sticking some people into the same houses, I know that most of us are all wanting to do their own houses, especially since that's the big draw to this game style, but it's always an option.

>>15669504

I can probably run it with all 14 people doing houses... But I'll need to get a co-DM. Got one or two people I'm going to ask.


>>15669482

A forum is probably the next step. This weekend, players should expect to see:

Me doing a few little house rules for the initial starting values of houses and the like.

A forum.

A backstory.

>>15669529

Sweet, sweet. I can't wait.

Question for ya. I work during the week until midnight EST, and can't do much until after that time. That gonna be a problem, or will it be workable?

>>15669546

The plan is to have a "due date" for actions. Like, say, I would need you to email me your actions for the "turn" by monday midnight, or something. I'd then most likely be able to send out the results of everything by Wednesday or Thursday.

However, if we get to battles, I will probably contact you for feed back, so you can do tactics.

Not to nazi with the moto I hope?

Another one.. Probably from the Vale; The Stone Crow of House..

This on sup tg yet for the future?

>>15669698

I'm too humble to archive my own threads...

>>15669688
though they didnt have a crow so I picked an eagle. the black per chevron is the mountain on which the house's hold is perched (probably atleast a tower) and the blue is the sky for which the Vale is known. the crow is either a hint that most of the family at one time whent to the wall or some meister thing or they just have alot of crows.

>>15669606
The Roosters (with their red rooster or crimson cockerel, I was tempted to go with a gilded cock but that would have been a bit much.. or?), probably some lanister banner men, for the golden orle around their shield and the red of the rooster. formed long passed by an former sell-sword captain and bastard, who always crowed like a rooster in battle, as thanks for his services.

Made a sigil even though I'm not playing. Anyone can feel free to use it.

Tha RPG heraldry generator helps A TON. Still, as I did before, if you can't find what you want, do what you can. Then, find what you need (in my case an otter and shells) and find coloring sheets on google images. If you copy and past them, they should be black/white so you just use the fill tool and resize.

I think everyone should wait and we will all generate our heraldry at the same time or something. Some things make more sense in the north than others.

>>15669606
Фсtualy it is too gay.

>>15670363
no sir, that's only you.

more northern (bit a drop of old valerian in the north perhaps), House Methuselah.

By The Blood Of The Tree.

You wanted something gay?

Enjoy the Gilded Cock of House Gaylord.

"We Stand Erect!"

Haven't read the whole thread yet but I'm in a hurry to post this. No house names though, just the shield sigils.

>>15670490
Yeah that one helped alot when trying to follow the characters travels across Westeros.

>>15663747
I'm in a similar fate to this Anon here. I play many /tg/ games but have yet to extend myself to roleplaying games. However I do love the series and this actually interests me. So if you wouldn't mind having another utterly inexperienced player, I'm interested.

I've only scanned the thread so far, so I'll just go back to reading it thoroughly. But here's my e-mail.

>>15670586

Unfortunately, I just can't take anyone else. We already have 14 bleeding people who have emailed me, and I'm already worrying over how I'm going to manage this.

>>15670600
That's fair enough, no problem.

>>15670600
Can you throw out a confirmation email to those who emailed you if you haven't already? I wanna know if I am one of the 14.

>>15670600
there was an early post up there some where thats aid gosh darn it I was just about to do this and you beat me to it, hock that bastard again and you two can co-op it.

also, the characters should be the houses and the story about westeros (or that part of) so everyone is a bit of a GM and should come with ideas not just for their own sake but for the storys sake.

if the story (the saga of the area) aint interesting then no one will have fun.

>>15670618

Yeah, I'll second this guy. I threw my email in the topic last night, but never directly emailed you. Now I'm not sure if I'm in or not.

>>15670708

If you didn't receive an email from me/send me an email, like would be you're not in. You can send me one now, though I'm not giving any assurance about anything.

>>15670618
Same guy
>>15670752
Then I'm just confirming that I sent you an email last night when you were at the premiere, so that would mean I am in?

>>15670752

Sure thing, might as well give it a try.

>>15670798

I'm sending out a confirmation email now.

>>15670808

Sent. If you did NOT get a confirmation email, please email if you want in.

>>15670873

I'll be on sup/tg/'s irc chat for a bit, if anyone wants to talk game on me. Channel's name is #gameofthrones

you still looking for players? if so I would be happy to join, if not you suck, buy eh what am I going to do.

If you are still accepting people, I'm dropping my email here.

>>15671617

Sorry to hear taht, but I just can't take any more people at the present. Maybe once this game runs its course, I'll open it again, but for now I've gotten over 25 emails on this.
